Major publications have honored Bodman attorneys recently for leadership in the profession and in the community. Crain’s Detroit Business recognized Michelle Thurber Czapski and Wendy L. Zabriskie as “Notable Women Lawyers in Michigan” and Michigan Lawyers Weekly honored Kathleen O’Callaghan Hickey as one of the state’s leading “Women in the Law.”

Bodman’s Grand Rapids office, headed by western Michigan attorney Floyd E. Gates, Jr., has expanded! Floyd has been joined by Darren J. Burmania, banking attorney, and John David Gardiner, litigation attorney. The Grand Rapids office allows the firm to continue to meet and exceed our clients’ needs and expectations across the state.

Bodman’s pro bono program has once again been recognized by the State Bar of Michigan as a member of the 2017 Circle of Excellence. The firm’s diverse pro bono efforts include direct representation of low-income individuals through referrals, participation in free legal clinics, and service to non-profit organizations and organizations that seek to defend individual civil and constitutional rights.
